Webcache - Still Needed / Used / Worth To Keep ? Poll inspired by other topic

Is Webcache still needed ?
How many ISPs do still do caching ? (i.e. T-Online disabled caching on its proxies)
How many open / free proxies are abused ?? (i.e. the well known "wcitalia.**-**.info or else)
Are there still real ISP-proxies which still do caching or is Webcache nowadays ONLY used for abusing open proxies ?
Opinions welcome
You want a light mod with source-dropping, Powershare and WiZaRd's ClientAnalyzer ?
Try Spike2-Mod !
You rather want to stick to official eMule but don't want to miss all the new fixes and optimizations from the mods ?
Try OfFixed-Mod !

There weren't so many ISPs that have webcaches anyway and the amount of those has decreased since then. If an ISP like T-Online doesn't allow this usage any more you can be pretty sure that there aren't many ISPs left that will. Also most of the webcache enabled clients that I see have no proxy set or some open proxy.

Even if there is not so many ISPs which have open webcache (I know that in Germny wc is not popular, but eg in Poland there is one wc which is open for everybody, and lot of ppl use it), so that is why I vote "Yes".
Eg: Download from WC is about of 40% of my TOTAL download.
@Famerlor: please dont remove WC from your mod. Im using Spike, because of stable number of slot, upload, great PS, AND WC. Im count that you'll still use it. Dont forget about ppl who use it

stats for my former mod I saw on an international board WC was disabled anyways.
Voted for no, though that question is obsolete for me personally - WC already got removed from my upcoming
legal mod.

it is the first client to be able to download form multiple networks the same file.
NL provides the first fully decentralized scalable torrent and DDL keyword search,
it implements an own novel anonymous file sharing network, providing anonymity and deniability to its users,
as well as many other new features.

maybe we should all together remove it at once. sooner or later everyone will move up to an up2date version even though no WC is supported.

you can't just leave it like an half-outdated plugin. wc has so many changes throughout the code even the merging means work. when i remember the first time i implemented that feature in the scarangel mod with max_upload i recall an incredible ammount of work.

are you using an public proxy or your ISPs proxy¿ if the first... you are exploiting the server and the feature and thus should not be able to use it!

that's a good idea,
how about consequently droping WC on update to 0.48 code, so that no 0.48 mod will use it anymore.

if anybody does'nt want to use it, the option would be due to give to deactivate it completely, but also it would be necessary to give the opportunity to continue using if somebody wants....
webcache has evolved much in the time that takes assets, like now throwing all the effort that has been used in that utility...
sorry for my english...
